Em razão da suspensão do calendário letivo regular devido a pandemia do novo coronavírus, foi elaborado um projeto de ensino, com ações de extensão, para ser realizado durante o calendário letivo alternativo 2020/1. O projeto tem como foco discutir pesquisas e intervenções no âmbito do estresse e saúde mental. Serão 12 encontros virtuais, realizados através de fórum e vídeo-aula. O projeto de ensino contará com uma atividade prática que entrará como uma ação de extensão.

Abstract Repeated suicide attempts are a significant risk factor for suicide, and anxiety sensitivity has been proposed as one of the individual characteristics that increase such attempts. However, there is a lack of research that explores the underlying mechanism of how anxiety sensitivity is associated with suicide attempts. The present study examined the mediating effect of rumination and hopelessness in the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and repeated suicide attempts among psychiatric patients. The moderating effect of gender in this mediating relationship was also investigated. Two hundred twenty-nine patients who visited the psychiatric department at a university hospital in Seoul completed [...]
Abstract An evidence-based intervention for many psychiatric and health problems, cognitive behavioral therapy originated in the West before being disseminated globally. While Saudi Arabia is unique, in that it is at the heart of the Islamic world, it is similar to most other countries in that mental disorders are common. Nonetheless, few studies have examined cognitive behavioral therapy in Saudi Arabia. In this scoping review, cognitive behavioral therapy training, practice, and research in Saudi Arabia were explored by searching several English and Arabic databases. Various education and training programs were outlined. Moreover, cognitive behavioral therapy practice in Saudi Arabia in [...]
Abstract Dimensional, transdiagnostic models of psychopathology such as RDoC and HiTOP increasingly inform how core and covarying processes are conceptualized in psychopathology diagnoses. It follows that the field may benefit from considering transdiagnostic, dimensional intervention models to promote mental wellness across human experiences. The current study presents Mood Lifters as a programmatic case study of a biopsychosocial-informed treatment approach that targets psychopathology as conceptualized within RDoC and HiTOP frameworks. Mood Lifters is a 15-week, peer-led, group-based program that promotes transdiagnostic mental wellness. This program demonstrates how a single intervention can address psychopathology across various domains highlighted in prominent alternative models [...]
Abstract Rumination, defined as “repetitive thinking about the symptoms, causes, circumstances, meanings, and consequences of negative mood” (Watkins & Roberts, 2020), is a cognitive vulnerability factor that leads to multiple mental disorders transdiagnostically. Rumination-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (RFCBT) is a novel approach of CBT that directly addresses rumination. The effectiveness of RFCBT in the treatment and prevention of depression has been demonstrated through multiple randomized controlled trials, all of which are conducted within Western cultures. Nevertheless, previous studies indicate that the consequences of rumination may differ across cultures. Therefore, cultural adaptation is a key in introducing RFCBT to the Eastern culture. [...]
Abstract In this overview, I consider the gregariousness of human nature and use it as context for the five articles in this special issue on suicidality. I point out that these five papers represent the diversity in concepts and methods characteristic of a young science, decades away from maturity. Nevertheless, I contend that there are commonalities in suicidality specifically and human experience more generally, and that themes like human sociality may serve as a heuristic in understanding them and in preventing the deaths by suicide.

You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment is a 4-part Netflix docuseries that is based on the 2023 Stanford randomized clinical trial comparing the cardiometabolic effects of a healthy meat-incorporated diet vs a healthy plant-based diet in identical twins. In this study, there were 21 pairs of identical twins who underwent an 8-week intervention comparing these 2 types of diets (one twin on each diet).1 At the beginning, middle, and end of the study, blood draws and stool samples were analyzed to look at their gut microbiome, metabolites, and inflammatory markers.

On Thursday, October 26, 2023, with a group of fellow AACAP annual conference goers, we saw the musical Wicked. Wicked is a beautiful and thought-provoking musical, telling the Wizard of Oz story from the perspective of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. In the musical, Elphaba starts out life at a disadvantage, as she is born with green skin. She is rejected from the beginning, with her father declaring “take it away!” (act 1, scene 1). The story picks up as she starts boarding school, largely to care for her younger sister, Nessa. [...]
Dramatic increases in rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) among youth highlight the need to pinpoint early risk factors. This study used intensive longitudinal sampling to assess what the concurrent associations were between risk factors and STB status, how proximal changes in risk factors were related to STB status, and how risk factors prospectively predicted changes in STB status in a preadolescent sample enriched for early childhood psychopathology. [...]
There is emerging evidence for an increased prevalence of autism in children of mothers with a migration background. To date, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are poorly understood. We investigated whether prenatal stress exposure mediates the association between maternal migration and child autistic traits, assessing first- and second-generation migrant mothers in the Netherlands and their children. [...]
The number of umbrella reviews, the systematic reviews of all systematic reviews and meta-analyses in a specified subject, have increased exponentially in recent years. In February 2024, a PubMed search with the term “umbrella review” yielded 840 publications in 2023, compared with 77 in 2013, and 16 in 2003. As the number of scientific publications grows, also does the need to synthesize the current state of knowledge to guide research efforts, clinical practice, and health policies.1,2 [...]
